The latest build was compiles March 13. You might want to try ROMs with newer builds than that one. I think it has been discontinued for Z1c.

You are right but there is not much options for z1 compact

If you want an AOSP rom with the most options, based on my experience, try Carbon ROM or C-ROM. These are balanced in terms of customization and stability. For the most stable rom, but with less customization, try Paranoid Android.

OK, so I'm new to this forum, so hi!
I am running Paranoid Android on my nexus and was wondering whether there are any roms based on 4.2 since it is now available.
I dont want the stock rom though, as it doesn't have the customization features that i want.
So is there a PA or CM etc. rom on 4.2?

I hate to say it but 4.2 based PA has made me switch to CM 10.1 nightlies for my custom ROM. I really wish PA would have stayed CM based for 4.2+. PA around 2.54 was incredible but removing many features is not what I would consider an improvement IMO.
What are your thoughts on these 4.4 Kit Kat versions? I'm currently running OneDroid, a CM11 mod. Do you see certain advantages to running CM and AOSP Roms versus GPE?
What are they? Discuss.
GPE with Xposed and GravityBox is good enough for me. Adds a lot of features to a stable base.

GPE = Stable (no bugs) everything works as it should
AOSP/CM = More features, Themes, not as stable as GPE, may have some bugs or missing features.
GPE + Xposed + Gravity Box > AOSP/CM any day

Hi guys, long time loyal PA user and tired of waiting for them to merge ThemeManager, want to switch to any CM based rom which has PIE functionality and properly updated.
Is there any such ROM out there? Original CM will not support PIE ever, so anyone ported PA PIE to CM ?
you can try nexus 5 experience that is cm based and have slim pie , carbon but i don't know if it is cm based , and the developer of crdroid is working on a port of PIE from cm10.2 for his rom

Carbon does have PIE, but it's AOSP.
actually looking for a cm based rom because of theme manager, PA has no indication of including theme support.
Also if pie is there then it will be better, else might have to flash proper cm nightly

have you tried the app?, its pretty good

Beanstalk is amazing, and has Pie, Halo, multiwindow, immersive mode, Xposed baked in, and about every other feature you can imagine... It is CM based as well... Combine it with Hells-Core kernel and PA Gapps and it is rock solid, actually even with the stock kernel it is very good. I suggest it very highly.
You won't see many updates though, maybe 4-8 per year on average, this ROM is rock solid and extremely feature packed, when updates to come out they just work though, many ROMs basically use updates like a beta program, not Beanstalk. I don't know if it has the new or old theme manager, I don't use themes so I can't tell you... but it does have a theme manager.
Thanks for the suggestions guys, just clean CM latest and it's quite good till now, I feel there is slight performance hit from PA but I will take that. CM has expanded desktop so no need of PIE any more. Was tired of PA, they still haven't managed to incorporate hybrid let alone theme manager.
Hello all
Just as title says.
Any good rom that is still maintained and updated that is using kk sources??
Seems like all moved to LP with alphas and drop KK.
I found only CM and Omni that have nightly still, but both using jb sources.
Thanks

+1 I'm just looking for something like this
My go to kk aosp rom is slimkat stable 9.0
True it's not still being developed but it's rock solid
I'll admit I get completely baffled with all the S4 variants.
1. Put simply is there a UK GT-I9505 Cyanogenmod 12 or 12.1 nightly?
2. What's device name to Cyanogenmod call it?
My GT-I9505 is from Everything Everywhere in the UK (who still haven't released lollipop).
Thanks
1. Yes.
2. jfltexx.
Perfect. Thanks.
jfltexx Snapshots stopped in February 2014 with M3. Which is weird as my LG G Pad last got a stable build in November 2014 with M12. That's a bit worrying if I want a stable/reliable CM build.
p.s. Stable being used generally. I'm aware CM used to use Stable as a specific naming convention.

Nightlies are more stable then the snapshots. So don't let naming misguide you. Just go for either the nightlies or the one in my signature. Ps go for the 12.1 branch, more stable then the 12 branch.
Really?
I thought the whole point was Stables were signed off?
Nightlies also updated daily which is bewildering. I just want a stable Android 5.1 release really. I'm not especially interested in the "cutting edge".
Thanks

The thing is: a rom may work perfectly for me and for you it gives various problems.
Bugs vary from device to device.
For instance, most roms I have tried on my device have worked perfectly (Thankfully).
But I saw other people who reported various issues with the same rom.
You will have to try for yourself.
the GPE rom by Danvdh is one of the most stable roms I have tried. It's still 5.0.1 though.
Resurrection Remix with Alucard kernel also works fine for me.
You might also try FlexOS. People say it has nice battery life.
AICP was also stable for me.
SaberMod CM12.1 stable too. But haven't tried it for some time.
They are all based on CM12.1.
You might also try the official CM12.1 Optimized build.

I'd rather stick with a stable ROM that's been signed off and had some quality control applied to it for that very reason. I prefer to just install a ROM and be done with it (maybe upgrading every now and again OTA) .
Like you say otherwise you could be fine (probably) or maybe not.

Interesting idea. Is this much more optimised for the S4 than the regular CM12.1 nightlies?
Being a fork isn't there a chance it'll get out of sync with the CM12.1 nightlies?
Thanks for the info on the other ROMs.

The optimized builds are developed by the same developer as the nightlies for the s4. So they pretty much go head to head.
Oh nice thanks.
Do the latest CM12.1 nightlies have the ability to turn the S4 legacy Menu button into an App-Switcher button? It's irritating having to hold down the Home button to switch between apps.
Lastly, is there anything major left in CM11 not in CM12.1 now? Is there a list somewhere?
I understand missing features is one of the reasons a CM12.1 Snapshot hasn't been released.

Seeing as android M is close development for CM12.1 will stop at some point and CM13 will start.

+1 for the CM12.1 Optimized build. I had low mobile signal which resulting in big battery drain in the otherwise awesome Danvdh 5.0.1 GPE rom. Had to ditch it.

Thanks for this.
Why are the optimized builds so far behind? The latest CM12.1 optimized build for the S4 looks to be 2015-06-16 but there's a regular CM12.1 nightly dated 2015-06-25.
